An Iron Age Fantasy with heart.

"It might be the world we're born into, but it's not the world we should accept," Gervoniline told her. "It can only be this way if too many accept it."

What's this world they were born into? It's the world where Counsellor Harnganarth's charge, Shielran, was meant to be happily raising her daughter with her bond in the city of Grimulsvoton. That wasn't going to happen though. Instead, she awaits the execution of the man she loved with their daughter, knowing that it's her turn once he's dead. Their crime was heinous, they loved each other and birthed a child.

The world on Greantalia was a better one for the Lilthling Commander named Miearline. She remained to help protect the special child born to Ambial. It's why she remained she's sure of it. There's no way it could have anything to do with the Vaerling hunter with the mesmerizing deep-blue eyes named Scaromael. He's just a distraction. Lilthling warriors often found men to distract themselves and that's all they were, all they could ever be. As a high-born Lilthling it was her duty to return to Motovashnine and bond with an approved Lilthling man and produce Lilthling daughters to become future Lilthling leaders. That was always the plan, except the purge from Grimulsvoton is coming and it's going to destroy not just Miearline's world, but the world of everybody she has come to know and love, including the hunter with the deep-blue eyes.

So you know, there's some swearing, some violence and some reference to sex. It's not "Game of Thrones" level, but it's there. It's not graphic and it has to do with the story.
